Who Owns Your Domain?

2:05 PM  High Tech House Calls, Expert Computer Consulting  

Do you have a website for your business?
You would think you own the website name (domain).
Think again!
Go to www.whoisnet/whois/"your website name" and see who owns your website. My client found out the owner was her PR firm. She asked me if $200 /year to host her website was reasonable. I thought that I could find a better deal and when I started the process to move her to another web hosting company, I discovered she did not own her domain. If she does not own the domain, she cannot move to another web hosting company. Will the PR firm change the ownership to her or will legal action be necessary? Take the time today to see who owns your domain. Update: The PR Firm "unlocked" the domain so she could take ownership and move her website to another web host.
